Wow what a movie.Ben and Tas Pappas were no unkowns to me and they won´t be for you if you had been viewing the contest results in the 90´s and 2000s.The brothers had an incredible high level in vert skating while Tas had most of the success.The movie is one more bright example how drugs can destroy carreers and lives.It is interesting to see how close Tas was at the 900 parallel with Tony Hawk. I did not quite catch why he was not allowed to participate in this Best Trick Contest at the X-Games.The story reveals the partially really sad story of the australian brothers from their childhood to Tas´ release from jail really going deep into Tas´ psychologyThe aussie slang was a little hard for me to understand, but I may watch it again. Interesting. Recommended.
